just dont heat up the copper tubing.......fumes are toxic. chiney thou...

Another issue with copper is that it will "work harden" due to vibration and become brittle. So just be careful with it. Especially if you use it for more than just looks (actually loading it). I must say the copper does look pretty sick though.

you could powdercoat the bars though right? I havent looked at mine closely, but they seem to have a rubbery coating on them that maybe needs to be there for added thickness?

rubber coating is there to protect it.

got it installed, it was already sized and everything. No pics, because it is just a plain rack, no fairing or anything.

pics once i get accessories!

i_b_AO · 07-01-2009, 04:29 PM

Might as well put this in here too lol. Just bought an attachment after having the rack for over a year hahaha

A quick pic of mine, threw the rack back on and stole the cargo basket that normally sits on the wife's escape for camping....

SAKURA · 07-03-2009, 03:03 PM

w00t!......

brownfaux · 07-03-2009, 03:32 PM

well, i think promising to post was good luck, i just found a Yakima Basket Case for $50! Guy says he has all the clips and stuff, so we'll see when i go to look at it. I think im going to cave and pay full price for a fairing though, noone online near me is parting with theirs, they are all part of rack systems they are selling complete. so boo on that.

I may end up paying full price for a copperhead fork mount also, gotta have it look nice, also, people have powdercoated the crossbars without a problem and things still mount correctly right?

blackscionxb · 07-03-2009, 03:47 PM

^^^ nice get it and get it now. Before they scoop it up under you.

SAKURA · 07-03-2009, 03:54 PM

yup. them basketcase are hard to get, especially for that price. see if they will take $40 thou.....
